Initial Situation
A rapidly growing IT consulting firm with 50 new hires/quarter experiences inefficient onboarding processes. New employee access takes an average of 4 days: 1 day for credential distribution, 1 day for manual creation in various systems, 2 days until all passwords are set and access is active. Offboarding is similarly sluggish: it takes 3-5 days for all accounts to be deactivated. Regularly, departing employees still have access 1-2 days later – high security risk.
Your Solution with simple system
- SSO integration with the customer IdP (Azure AD / Okta) is set up
- Automatic user provisioning is activated
- On onboarding: New employee is created in Azure AD/Okta → simple system account is automatically created on first SSO login
- New employee receives SSO login link → can immediately access simple system (same day, <15 min after IdP entry)
- On offboarding: Employee is deactivated in IdP → Login to simple system is blocked automatically and immediately
- No separate processes for simple system account management required
Result: Onboarding drops from 4 days to <1 hour. Offboarding drops from 3-5 days to <5 min. Security risk window shrinks from days to minutes.
Your Benefit
- Time savings: Onboarding 4 days → <1 hr = 780 days/year + offboarding 3-5 days → <5 min.
- EBIT impact: +€312,000/year (onboarding) + €15,000/year (IT admin) + €50,000/year (avoided security incidents) = +€377,000/year
